This innocuous-looking square proved to be one of the most difficult I have ever tackled. The access road on the 1:50,000 map no longer exists. The track which does exist has nowhere to turn until Wester Mosshead, and it was a quagmire with hidden boulders lying in wait for the underside of the car. So this view, looking down towards the Burn of Birkenhill, is likely to remain forever the sole image in its square. Oh, and I only escaped the approaching rain by seconds.
